Are they, really?

Pro will be one year old and probably cheaper than it is now. The lead PS4 family will have over the X1 family, by the time the scorpio releases, will be too big for the scorpio to mend, if it does any mending.

I think people wanna believe PS4 Pro is as good as it gets at $399. No UHD and 4 teraflops. But we'll see next year.

Relative to release date (and without significant losses on the manufactures end), it's likely pretty close. The Scorpio could very well end up being $400 too, but that would (at least in an isolated comparison) prove the point. If something has to wait a year to cost $400 and be more powerful, then it was clearly more than they could previously offer for $400. If it costs more than $400, then the point is doubled down.
